    Apostasy in the Church.

    Part 1.

    Examining three causes of Apostasy,

    All three have an example in the history of Israel.

    1) Broken Cisterns - Jeremiah complained about the apostasy of Judah by saying,

    Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods?

    but my people have changed their glory for [that which] doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

    Jeremiah 2:11-13

    Today, Darwinian physical science has given the world something I call "Declaration over Exploration." Sadly, many Churches are promoting "Theistic Evolution" as a needless compromise with the disastrous result of the killing of God the Creator.

    Freudian mental science has given the world an "escape from sin" where everyone is a victim. Here, too many in the Church promote these unbiblical ideas and thereby kill God the Judge.

    Biblical "Higher Criticism" and "Lower Criticism" from the 19th-20th Centuries11 gave the world spiritual doubt. The result? The absence of personal discernment as the Church promotes its own self-criticism. All three of these secular practices are like the "broken cisterns" spoken of by Jeremiah.

    2) Alliances of Weakness.

    Hosea helps us draw a historical parallel here. He observes that "Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not."12 He was warning against the infiltration, integration, and influence of evil.

    The best example of this kind of compromise is King Solomon himself. The writer of 1 Kings reminds us in 1 Kings 11:1-4.

    See part 2.

    Friends;

    I've been reading the comments concerning the word of God, the Bible.

    It appears that y'all have come to a conclusion that the Scriptures are to be the rule & guide of a Christian life, or at least finally stated this conclusion. Friends, no its not!

    The Guide & Rule of a Christian life is not the Scriptures, but the Spirit, that gave forth the Scriptures

    Jesus said, John 16:13, He didn't say the letter would lead us into all truth, but the Spirit. 1John 2:27 2Pet 1:3

    Rom 8:14; not the letter, but led by the Spirit are the sons & daughters of God

    Psalms 143:10 Gal 4:10 Rom 8:16 Rom 8:9

    Friends, you who are fermented on the Scriptures, do you not hear what the letters has to say?

    2Cor 3:6 1Cor 2:9-13 Rev 2:7,11 Rev 2:29 etc;

    Jesus was made like unto us in all things, & is our Example, its recorded in Scriptures John 7:15 was not taught by man, but taught & lead by God Spirit John 5:19 2Cor 5:19,20 Rom 8:11 & was made 1Cor 15:45 to all that will receive Him in Spirit.

    John the Baptist, was in the wilderness unto the day of his appearing; Luke 1:80 it is written Luke 3:2 John 1:33 the Spirit of God came to him, taught him & empowered him for the life & ministry chosen for him from the foundation of the world.

    The same principle applies to us this day, God has not change, He works the same way He always has & that's by His Spirit.

    As I stated previously the Scripture true glory & honor are they give us a true testimony of Christ & point to Him who did return as He promised, & that in Spirit. The Scriptures are very profitable indeed when honor for which they were given forth. The NT is the administration of the Spirit 2Cor 3:8

    Paul says Philippians 1:19 The Spirit of Christ is what lead him & taught him all that we read of in his writing. He counted all the knowledge & understanding that he previously attain to & live as Dung, Philippians 3:5-8 compare to the experiential knowledge John 5:17 he received from Holy Spirit. 1John 4:6 do you hear Him?

    Rapture verses in context.

    Here are some pre-tribulation rapture verses ( 1 Thessalonians. 4:16-17) This is when Jesus Christ comes which is the rapture.

    (1) there is a sound of a trumpet. (2) there is a gathering together. (3) He comes in the clouds.

    Now we read ( 1 Cor. 15:51-52) We are changed. ( 1 Thess. 4:17) "shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air". (we are changed)

    When we meet the Lord in the air then we are changed in the twinkling of an eye, at the (last) trump. The word (last) is #2078; it means farthest, final (of place or time) ends of, last. The last trump doesn't sound much like it happens before the tribulation does it?

    We read in ( Col. 3:4) "When Christ who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory" This is when we meet Jesus in the clouds, we change in a twinkling of an eye, at the LAST trump and we appear with Jesus in GLORY.

    ( 1 Pet. 5:4) "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear ye shall receive a crown of GLORY that fadeth not away" When Jesus appears we receive a crown of GLORY when we change and meet Jesus in the clouds.

    ( 1 Jn. 3:2) Tells us "when he shall appear, we shall be like him" We are changed and we receive a crown of GLORY.

    ( Phil. 3:20-21) Tells us "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" We are changed at the last trump at the twinkling of an eye to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds.

    ( Titus. 2:13) 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the (glorious appearing) of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ"

    When does He appear?

    ( Mt. 24:29-31) v29 "Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION"

    v30 "And then shall APPEAR the sign of the Son of man in heaven", "and they shall see the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great GLORY"

    (1) there's a (sound of a trumpet)

    (2) and they shall (gather together) his elect

    (3) the Son of man (coming in the clouds)

    ( Mt. 24:29-31) His (appearing) is the rapture.

    Truth matters.

    Question; Are the Psalm's split into section's for different inspirations?
  • Don Baca - 8 months ago
    I believe the Book of Psalms is separated by different reason's say for strengthening you, for protection while sleeping from being attached by evil entities of Satan, and also section giving praise to our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, giving glorious word's of enlightenment of our Creator and of our Salvation. Can you help me in this separation or am I wrong in my thoughts. Please help me, I am a new Christian Thank you, God bless

    The Word of God.

    We read in (Hebrews, 4:12) "For the word of God is "quick" and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart".

    The word "quick" is #2198; it means to live, (a-) live.

    The Word of God is Alive!

    Do we have the Word of God that's Alive today? If its only the original autographs then how could God use those to judge us?

    How could we be judged (righteously) with what we have no way of reading, or studying? ( 2 Tim. 2:15) We are told to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". How do we study the original autographs? The word of truth is the KJB!

    If we read ( Jn. 12:47-50) In v48 Jesus said "the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day".

    If we are judged in the last day by the words that Jesus spoke do you think God would provide those words for us in a (perfect) translation? I think so too!

    That means those words would have to be in a book, or in a Bible today. Right?

    If we read ( Rev. 22:18-19) v18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy ((OF THIS BOOK)) If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written ((IN THIS BOOK)).

    v19 "And if any man shall take away from the words ((OF (THE BOOK) OF THIS PROPHECY)) God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written ((IN THIS BOOK)).

    God cannot lie!

    Changing the words? ( Jer. 23:36) "for ye have "perverted" the words of the living God" "perverted" #2015; it means to change.

    ( Ps. 12:6-7) Is God's promise to preserve His Words for all generations, FOR EVER.

    If God preserved His Word for this generation through the translation of the KJB then where are we told how He did that in the Bible?

    ( 2 Pet. 1:19-21)

    Truth matters!
  • Jema - 8 months ago
    With regards to the Word of God , I have always believed that the Word of God is also signified by the sword . It's an interesting study if you fancy it , that sharp two edged sword that will judge the nation's , the sword of the Lord and of Gideon , if you have a concordance you might want to look at the occasion's when the sword is mentioned , especially in Revelation and Ezekiel . Don't forget that sword that was placed at the gate of Eden . I believe that the Word is symbolised more than one thing , the obvious one being the Word made flesh which is of course Christ , I also believe that the sword often represents the Word of the Lord . Can anyone think of anything else in the Bible that might signify the Word of God ?

  • Dgjot on Deuteronomy 25 - 8 months ago
    11When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets :

    12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

    "the secrets" = private parts. "cut off her hand"

    Isn't this overkill?

    But raping women is just fine???

    The more I read the Bible the more I just want to avoid people and stay in the house.

    Friend, you stated in pt 4

    "Why do we say that sanctification makes us blameless, not faultless? Because the Grace of God working in us does not make us infallible. Sin has so perverted our moral and spiritual powers that we shall never in this present life be free from the infirmities of human nature."

    This is a subtle lie, cleverly disguise within a lot of truth, whether intentional or not, I hope it was the later.

    blameless def; is an adjective that means "innocent of wrongdoing" or "free from blame or fault"

    faultless def; is an adjective that means having no fault, mistake, defect, imperfection, blemish, flaw, error, vice, or offense. It describes something that is perfect in all respect

    Titus 2:11-14 all iniquity

    Jude 1:24 faultless without blame, without blemish, faultless.

    From a (as a negative particle) and momos; unblemished (literally or figuratively) -- without blame (blemish, fault, spot), faultless, unblamable.

    Ephesians 5:27

    The Grace of God is the Almighty, who we have in these earthen vessels; Isa 14:27 only to the unbelievers are these things impossible Matt 13:58 Hebrews 3:19

    Sanctification.

    Part 5.

    Salvation, which is when you come to know Jesus Christ, is only the beginning of our Christian journey.

    Sanctification: being made or becoming holy. To sanctify is to literally be set apart for particular use in a special purpose or work.

    What is Sanctification?

    Sanctification Is The Gift of the Fullness Of Your Salvation

    Sanctification Is Not Works Righteousness

    Sanctification Is The Gift of Being Perfected In Love.

    Written By Rev. Paul Lawler.

    The Gospel preached to Abraham, for our sake.

    Romans 4:19-25.

    And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

    He staggered not at the PROMISE of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

    And being fully persuaded that, what he had PROMISED, he was able also to perform.

    And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

    NOW IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR HIS SAKE ALONE, that it was imputed to him;

    BUT FOR US ALSO, TO WHOM IT SHALL BE IMPUTED, if we BELIEVE ON HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS OUR LORD FROM THE DEAD;

    Who was delivered for OUR OFFENCES, and was raised again for OUR JUSTIFICATION.

    Galatians 4:28

    Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of PROMISE.

    Galatians 3:29

    And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    Galatians 3:16-19.

    Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

    And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

    For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by PROMISE.

    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

    CONCLUSION

    Galatians 3:27-29.

    For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

    And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    Genesis 22:18.

    God bless.

    From Matthew 7:1-3 judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged: & with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why behold thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? .. These have always confused me because in verse 5 it adds that we are Hypocrites if we don't remove the beam in our own eye (our sin/wrong doing) before trying to remove the mote in our brothers eyes. Yet, isn't that the purpose of Jesus DBR Him shedding His blood for All & All sin? If we've already been forgiven of all our sins do we not have the right to say such things to them in love & compassion? Of course only if we live a believers life not just say we are though God knows our heart. In todays trying times if we tell others that they need Jesus for thinking their born gay, trans or otherwise What would be best way to say something to them when they say "judge not that ye be not judged" or "you don't know what I've been through"? I mean I know believers are merely trying to lead them to Christ by speaking His truth but they say that & I'm stumped as to how to respond biblically other than Gen 1:27 or "Gods word is Gods word & needs no adding to it if you believe & want eternal life in heaven instead of eternity in the lake of fire".! "Earnestly seeking Him in prayer, He will find & comfort you in His time, it doesn't happen over night yet you will feel His peace if you truly believe". I also explain, 'we must go through trials to grow wise & be strong because anyone can say 'I'm Christian or I believe' for even satan believes & God doesn't deal with ppl that sit on the fence'. ANYONE with a KJV biblical teaching? thanks.! God bless

    For meditation- mostly inspired by a brother in faith that passed away around 22 years ago.

    Weeks of years and weeks of days is key.

    "Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers." Matthew 23:32 KJV

    We believe in a risen Christ!

    Gabriel delivered a message to Daniel that in time they (Israel) would finish the transgression. Jesus knew this time and spoke to the Jews that they (the same generation) would finish the measure of the fathers. In Gabriel's message both the people and the holy city would be affected by the determined time, seventy weeks.The pronouncement broke the seventy weeks down in parts. In a way the seventy years of captivity was the latter days for the Jews. From the decree of king Cyrus the seventy weeks began. First seven weeks of years in unsettled times of building back their nation as recorded in Ezra and Jeremiah. Daniel 9:26 states the Messiah will be cut off at 62 weeks. 62 weeks plus the seven weeks would "unto the Messiah" being cut off.

    69 weeks not 70?

    Daniel 9:27 says "and he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week" this is the seventieth week or else the phrase "unto the Messiah" makes little sense.

    In the middle of the 27th verse of Daniel, in the middle of the week the Messiah "shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease"

    In the 70th week Jesus began His ministry of preaching the Gospel "confirmed the covenant with many". Three and one half years later, He was cut off by the crucification. When the Messiah was cutoff after delivering the New Covenant while the Old Covenant ceased at the same time in the middle part of the 70th week. For about forty years from the time of the crucification to the destruction of Jerusalem which began around the same time of the year was a period of Grace for the Jews to repent and be of the first born of God's Holy Church. This period of time completes the 70 weeks. Both verses 9:26 and 27 speak of this last time.

    The times of the Gentiles began at this time.

    Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

    Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    Joel 2:12-14 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

    Jonah 3:4-10 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
  • David0921 - 8 months ago
    Galatians 2:16-21 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the FAITH OF CHRIST, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be JUSTIFIED BY CHRIST, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the GRACE OF GOD: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

    Hebrews 11

    Hebrews 12:1,2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
